wxman9 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Mostly suppressed to the south. They like March 4th better for our area. Hahahaha March 4th, now there's a forecast I can hang my hat on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I find it somewhat interesting today that the number one analog over the east at 120 hours is 2/6/03. May not seem all that significant but we all know about the storm which ensued about a week or so later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 The long range 18z GFS continues to look great for a possible big storm around the first week of March. At day 7 you have your potent southern stream wave in the four corners region and a potent northern stream wave rotating around the PV and southward through western Canada. The southern stream wave looks to undercut the western ridge, instead of knocking it down, which is the key here. Not sure if this run will show a big storm for the area, but this is a pretty classic setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDMK6GLI Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 This would be for the day ten threat. so march 3-4th? I was confused. I just want to get past next week before looking at anything that far out remotely seriously. I know your not seriously looking into this yet but.....

IsentropicLift Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 The GFS will be hurt here by truncation but it had a great look up until that hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 We'll have to watch the system coming in post day ten as well, 18z GFS shows a cutter but the Euro ensembles have been rather bullish in this time frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything long range I'm discussing here. don't have one for the march 1-2 storm possibility but too early to start that anyway. we have three legit threats starting Monday going to next Saturday, fun times ahead yanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooL Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 The GFS will be hurt here by truncation but it had a great look up until that hour. I don't think it looked great. The PV was showing no signs of splitting up and the gfs does not have the nao block the euro showed us at 12z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDMK6GLI Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 We don't need the PV to split. it would certainly help or atleast have it in a position that would allow negative tilt on the east coast for something that comes out of the southern branch and not be suppressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooL Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 We don't need the PV to split. lol if you want the storm to get up here, you need splitting. Haven't you even looked at the models today? All of them show the PV staying in 1 piece and suppressing the storm. It's pretty simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty simple You can get a system that passes more west to east across the county and still have it track to our south, but far enough north for us to cash in.

That would be overrunning. For the big gulf storms which we could potentially be dealing with next weekend, you need the PV to split and relax.

Brian5671 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 With the southern stream becoming active later next week-we could end up with a bowling ball across the country... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I sort of liked the idea of a bowling ball here better then a true coastal. Great over running snows benefit more people and then you can still get the heavy snows from the coastal as it passes by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SNfreak21 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Jan 1996, March 2001 (lol I know) and April 1982 are example of bowling ball storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDMK6GLI Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 bottom line is this pattern starting Monday and going into the following week I would be shocked if we weren't tracking something under 96 hours that wasn't a widespread MECS+. next weekend is really the first "BIG ONE" then earlier the following week. lets just get past the sunday/Monday and Wednesday threats before we dive into the potential bigger storms from the GOM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just let things play out, I don't know how long you've been following the weather but even a very favorable pattern will only produce a HECS less than 10% of the time (hence the historic part). Just look at the pattern as being favorable for snow, as you get within 3 days you can start getting bullish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
